Eddie..and I hate you lol spoiler alert!

 

I love it though. Would have liked Fisher, but a d lineman that can take on double teams was right up there with OT.

 

At 218? Unlikely....

 

Maybe his best hope is to evade them. Might as well line him up at LB, that's where he'll end up being pushed to.

 

* Edit: This article lists him as 320 which looking at his picture, makes more sense. http://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/co...draft/21697401/

 

And since Dick Butkus likes the pick, so do I. Although I don't know much about him. Only 27 starts. that could be a good and a bad thing.

He's a big fat lineman for the 3-4. Two down player. Here's why we didn't take Danny Shelton

Also this can put to rest that Fangio prefers smaller DTs.

 

Lol yup. Justin Smiths ability to take on double teams made it possible for him to go with smaller guys.

 

I know hes being called a 2 down player but I say hogwash. He wont provide a pass rush but by having him out there taking on 2 blockers he's making the guys who do provide a pass rush jobs easier. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if Fangio makes him an everydown player. When they use their 2-4-5 alignment Id like to see him and McDonald out there...in the base 3-4 we got McDonald-Goldman-Ratliff/Ego/Houston/Sutton/Jenkins. One of those guys should be able to handle the 2nd DE spot.

Was hoping for Gregory but this pick makes sense. Nice draft from Ryan Pace so far. Much better than his predecessor..

 

Yep. I really feel like we've drafted two potential opening day starters. I'd also add that the two positions we neglected the most in free agency were DT and WR. No smokescreens.

Real good article on Goldman here.

Interesting that he wore #90 in honor of Ratliff.

 

Sounds like a real good kid, like him even more after reading that.

Pace almost surgical at this point. I like the pick, I was thinking names (Gregory, Fisher), but Goldman makes too much sense, and some had him late first round.

I grasp on guys I like and my NTs were Shelton or Phillips. Looking at Goldman, I think he is perfect. Little longer arms than Shelton and didn't cost us a dynamic playmaker. Now find a DB, OT, or C.

The questions about my choice Phillips motor may have had him behind Goldman on the Bears board. So 1 for 1 on first pick 2 for 2 on positions.

 

Also Phillips has had back problems. Not what I like to see from a big guy.
